What is Airtop?
Browser automation for agents, with a changelog that stopped a while ago
The visible entries date from April to September 2025 and are duplicated two or three times each. The capabilities described are the practical obstacles an automated browser hits: session recording that saves a separate video per window, file uploading including filling file input elements, and automatic CAPTCHA solving when encountered. Nothing more recent appears in the window.
What is Sanity?
Sanity's MCP server now advertises itself to agents through a server card and llms.txt.
Sanity shipped three MCP server releases in two days. 2.44.0 makes the server discoverable through a /.well-known server card, an HTML or markdown landing page, robots.txt and llms.txt, and cuts CPU per request. 2.43.0 adds an undeploy_schema tool and deprecates workspaceName for schema selection. 2.42.2 fixes validation against deployed schemas and refuses patches that would change a document's _type.
Airtop vs Sanity: editorial side-by-side
Airtop
0.0DEVOPS
Browser automation for agents, with a changelog that stopped a while ago
◆ Current state
The visible entries date from April to September 2025 and are duplicated two or three times each. The capabilities described are the practical obstacles an automated browser hits: session recording that saves a separate video per window, file uploading including filling file input elements, and automatic CAPTCHA solving when encountered. Nothing more recent appears in the window.
◆ Where it's heading
The work is aimed squarely at making unattended browser sessions survive real websites — upload flows and bot challenges are where naive automation stops, and per-window recording is how an operator debugs a run after the fact. That is a coherent set of concerns, but the feed shows no activity in roughly ten months, so whether the trajectory continues is not visible here.
◆ Prediction
With no entries in the recent window there is no basis for predicting the next release; the feed may have gone stale rather than the product.
Sanity
5.0DEVOPS
Sanity's MCP server now advertises itself to agents through a server card and llms.txt.
◆ Current state
Sanity shipped three MCP server releases in two days. 2.44.0 makes the server discoverable through a /.well-known server card, an HTML or markdown landing page, robots.txt and llms.txt, and cuts CPU per request. 2.43.0 adds an undeploy_schema tool and deprecates workspaceName for schema selection. 2.42.2 fixes validation against deployed schemas and refuses patches that would change a document's _type.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server is becoming the main way agents read and write Sanity content, and the work has shifted from adding tools to making it safe and findable: guarded patches, accurate safety annotations, full schema lifecycle and discovery metadata. Studio and Manage continue alongside it with speed work and admin features for larger organizations.
◆ Prediction
Expect workspaceName to be removed after the migration period, and more guardrails on write tools such as patch_documents.
